BETRAYAL AT THE HOUSE ON THE GAME TOWER - Session 11

[idolpro]

Who: Exael and the rest of you lot
When: To be inserted into the timeline after completion
What: Betrayal at the House on the Game Tower

[ The GAME ALERT and map show on the screen of your phones— idols, you know what to do!

The Game Tower elevator doors are open to receive, and close once they have you in their confines and the broadcast monitors click on. You can keep an eye on the city further and further below you, as watch with your host's introduction to today's game.

At the very least it's not Mukuro's face on the screen this time. Instead it's Exael again, pigtails bouncing as she hops up from a grand low bow— it looks like they cut part of her broadcast spiel for you guys. With a showman's flair, she twirls and splays her arms as the camera zooms out to focus on a grand mansion, more Hollywood glamor than anything belonging in Tokyo.

"Summer has come to Tokyo, and so has the season's specialty: The Trial of Courage! Step right up, and charge right in because waiting won't help you at all! Here is a place even angels fear to tread! Azzy's very own, The House of Mirth and Betrayal! This place has a sordid past that casts a shadow as long as the valley of death, and soon our Idols will be adding their own pages to the tale!"

The elevator stops atop the central tower of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building and then lurches unpleasantly, wrenching itself out of where elevators ought to go. The sudden movement jolts you, and when the doors open you spill out into into a room.

Hopefully, with not too much time missing. ]

ENTRANCE HALL

[idolpro]

[ You enter the Entrance Hall. High ceilings, marble floor, red carpet, imposing chandelier dripping black matte crystals and columns inscribed with strange glyphs lit with bright red LEDs that hurt your eyes to look at directly— it's the tackiest intersection between lifestyles of the rich and famous and haunted house you've ever seen.

There are entrances to the North, East, and West. To the South lies the front door— and a sheer drop off the skyscraper. Probably don't go that way.

The room itself offers no particular dangers or advantages. ]

[deicider]

[Ugh, squinting.]

Wow.

[forthetainted]

Oh, hey.

[deicider]

Aries. What are your feelings on cannibalism right now?

[forthetainted]

[kind of alarmed]

Uh... gross...?

Why?

[deicider]

Whiskey took a bite out of me earlier.

[forthetainted]

Shit.

[ew]

[looking him over]

Are you okay...?

[deicider]

Yeah, I'm okay. He didn't really hurt me.

[They tossed a shirt on so really nothing's visible.]

Do you want to stay with us?

[forthetainted]

Uh... nah, we can try, but I might get teleported away. I haven't run into any trouble, though.

I haven't seen Whiskey so far, this time.

[maxxximumeffort]

[waggles his fingers in a wave.]

Heeey buddy. What's a haunted house like you doing in a babe like this?

[forthetainted]

[blink]

Hah?

Did the house mess you up?

[maxxximumeffort]

Listen, I am fairly sure having 3 whole sanity points is a buff.

[unbr8kable]

[this pleasant chat with cardigan and D is interrupted by a bullet whizzing towards him with a speed of 6, crazy weather we're having]

[unbr8kable]

Everything about this place is--

[she cuts off when she notices aries, on guard]

[deicider]

[Chats with Aries a bit... When they turn, back to Aries, D out of line of site, they catch Nemesis's eyes and mouth:

Traitor.

Their fingers make a subtle gun, a signal. Shoot him.]

[unbr8kable]

[raises her eyebrows--for real, is she reading this sign correctly??]

[deicider]

[nods, barely a twitch. They step out of the way.]

[unbr8kable]

[takes a breath, then]

[deicider]

[And Cardigan is jumping D now]

[maxxximumeffort]

[squinting...]

Shit. What's the call? Keep going West?

[deicider]

[hmm.]

Nemesis's turn to pick.

[maxxximumeffort]

Works for me. Gotta keep moving. . .

[deicider]

[WHAT'S UP, Nemesis just shot Chuuya and now Cardigan is leaping at D with kind of a shitty attack of 4. Aiming for the head with the butt of their spear.]

[maxxximumeffort]

--Fuck?!

[he's so shocked that his 6 might fumbles with a 3 and he takes damage.]

Really?? Really?

[He swings his fist right back at them. 9 points of fist right at the chest]

[deicider]

[With an 8 they take the hit like it's nothing, a keen light in their eyes. They flip their grip on their spear and slam it into his ribcage for 9 attack.]
